Ok. Except the video had “anecdotes” that they literally could not imagine and have never seen the concept of a flush toilet. Understood it so little that they wouldn’t believe Ukrainians would defecate inside their houses and then stole the toilet seat alone to make the same system work in their homes.

It was absolute propaganda.

Man, it's just old people rambling and exagerating. Don't take it too seriously.

Ok, but look at the thousands of comments by young people taking it seriously. This is what propaganda is.

It isn't hurting anyone. Yes, it's a bit disparaging of rural Russians who are not as cut off civilization as this video implies, but tbh, if you know anyone who took the transsibérien after 2000, you'll see that this story isn't as outrageous as it sounds sadly.

Ok, interesting take.

Cool how it only took you one post to completely reverse your position from “oh no one would believe that obvious garbage” to “oh it’s okay people believe that”.

Good luck with all that goal post moving.
